"What? Ninth Miss Tu? Who is she?" Concubine Dong asked in bewilderment as she put down the account book.
She racked her brain, but she couldn't remember that there was such a young lady in the Tu Family. She had paid a lot of attention to the family, but Ninth Miss Tu was from an insignificant branch family, so she didn't care about her at all.
"I don't know either. I heard that she was sent here by Zhaoyi Tu in the Palace. Madam Dowager is entertaining her now," Nanny Dong replied. After a moment of hesitation, she added, "A-Also, I saw some people moving the firewood away from the entrance of Madam's courtyard."
"What?! When was it?" With a drastic change of expression, Concubine Dong suddenly stood up with her eyes wide open. "Is it an order from Lord Marquis?"
Wei Luowen's reaction was already within Concubine Dong's expectations. Back then, when Nanny Hong came to hint to her that Wei Yuewu wanted to cut down the plum
"Madam Dowager, are you okay?" Tu Yuzhen looked back in shock at Madam Dowager's dramatic reaction."I'm fine. The cup slipped out of my hand, that's all." Madam Dowager regained her composure, and she even donned a faint smile on her face."Ninth Miss Tu, thank you for informing us about Zhaoyi Tu's intention to pay respects here. Please express our gratitude to her on our behalf. We've always felt sorry toward your family, and we will remember your kindness," Madam Dowager sighed."What do you mean..." Tu Yuzhen couldn't understand what Madam Dowager said."Second Miss Tu died of depression because of my eldest son, and we've always felt sorry for that. Zhaoyi Tu can rest assured that we, the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, will forever remember this matter," Madam Dowager asserted with a faint tone, and she made her points clearer.At this moment, Madam Dowager was clear that Zhaoyi Tu sent Ninth Miss Tu here to
Since the Third Princess planned to make a move, she would naturally go to Zhaoyi Tu as her partner. After all, she did not know anything about the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, so she had to discuss her plan with Zhaoyi Tu.This was the only way from Zhaoyi Tu's palace to the Palace gate. She originally thought that Zhaoyi Tu had only sent a palace maid to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, but she was surprised when she heard the young lady's voice. Could the lady be the candidate that Zhaoyi Tu had intended to marry her father? That would be great!Tu Yuzhen was in a good mood. Although she did not understand Madam Dowager's reaction, this did not stop her from perceiving Concubine Dong's grievance. She was just a concubine. Did she really think that she could be able to control everything?However, Marquis Hua Yang was too lenient toward the concubine. The concubine was actually bold enough to burn down Marquise's courtyard. If she marr
"Uh... I'm not sure about it. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't go to the main branch much." Hearing Wei Yuewu asked such a detailed question, Tu Yuzhen shook her head with a bitter smile. She only had a brief knowledge about this matter, and she heard it from Zhaoyi Tu. When she asked anyone in the family, no one knew about it.She had also inquired about it, but no one knew that Marquis Hua Yang had been engaged, let alone that he had been engaged to Second Miss Tu."Is Second Miss Tu Grand Preceptor Tu's biological daughter?" Wei Yuewu paused and changed the topic to another simple question."No. I heard that..." Tu Yuzhen was a little hesitant at this point. She wasn't absolutely sure about this."Ninth Miss Tu, is it because you can't say it?" Wei Yuewu asked with a gentle smile. Her sparkly eyes and soft-spoken demeanor made one have a good impression of her."No, it's not like that, but as far
Realizing her mistake, Wei Qiufu immediately corrected herself, "Among the aristocratic families in the capital, the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang can be considered one of the top. With Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle leading the family, even the royal family will not look down on us. Sixth Younger Sister, let's not talk about this. Let's go visit Eldest Sister tomorrow, okay?""Okay, but..." Wei Yuewu pondered for a moment and raised her watery eyes. "Fourth Elder Sister, aren't you afraid that Eldest Sister will be irrational and do you wrong?"This question struck right into Wei Qiufu's heart. Others might not know about it, but Wei Qiufu knew very well that Wei Fengyao would definitely hate her for dragging her down when she pulled her."If she wants to blame me, so be it! Let's talk about it tomorrow," Wei Qiufu uttered indifferently and looked toward Orchid Courtyard that was not far ahead. No matter what, it would be best if the Crown
"Sixth Younger Sister, the Orchid Courtyard is so big. Why don't we split up and look around? When we come here again tomorrow, we'll visit the place where we haven't been to today," Wei Qiufu suggested.Wei Yuewu turned her head slightly and saw a trace of anxiety on Wei Qiufu's face as her eyes darted around. She curled her lips faintly and said calmly, "Alright!"Seeing that Wei Yuewu was not suspicious, Wei Qiufu was overjoyed and pointed at the moon cave. "I'll go this way. Sixth Younger Sister, you go that way!"Wei Yuewu nodded and led Jin Ling forward. When Wei Yuewu disappeared from the entrance of the moon cave, Wei Qiufu hurriedly turned around and ordered Ming Yan, "Do you still remember the path just now?"In order to confuse Wei Yuewu and prevent her from finding the original place easily, Wei Qiufu took a detour on purpose."Don't worry, Miss. I memorize it all the way." Ming Yan nodded.
"Oh, Fourth Elder Sister, you're still here? I should have come here had I known earlier. I saw that you've been wandering around here all this time,"Wei Yuewu said with a faint smile."M-Maybe you were mistaken, Sixth Younger Sister. I just arrived here." A trace of anger flashed through Wei Qiufu's eyes. She was sure that Wei Yuewu did not know about her plan. Wei Yuewu was obviously jealous after seeing that she was close to the Crown Prince, so she accused her of wandering around here.Although Wei Qiufu knew that Wei Yuewu was lying, she could only secretly grit her teeth in irritation as she didn't have any solid evidence now.Wen Tianyao's gazes became profound, and there were a few more doubts in his eyes, but he did not speak."Oh... I might have mistaken then!" As if sensing the displeasure in Wei Qiufu's eyes, Wei Yuewu curled her lips slightly and apologized with an innocent expression. She didn't w
Wen Tianyao had never been able to find out what had happened back then. Since Wei Qiufu was involved, he would not give any mercy. Even though he might let Wei Qiufu off in the end for the sake of that person, he did not intend to let her go now!"What? The Crown Prince gave Fourth Miss Wei a reward?""Yes! Just now, several palace maids and eunuchs went over with gifts in their hands.""Why did he give the rewards to Fourth Miss Wei alone?""I don't know either. It seems that Fourth Miss Wei helped His Highness a lot!" In the corridor of Chu Xiu Palace, several young ladies of aristocratic families whispered. Just now, they saw the people from the Crown Prince Mansion deliver gifts to Wei Qiufu.It was the first time that the Crown Prince gave gifts to a young lady of an aristocratic family. As long as they thought of the meaning behind this honor, no one would calm down.The other young ladies co
Zhao Ruo'e didn't expect that Wei Yuewu would suddenly guess what had happened to her. After being dazed for a moment, she calmed down, the expression on her face eased a bit, and she sat down on the chair beside Wei Yuewu."Sixth Miss Wei, what's wrong with the brocade that day?" Zhao Ruo'e asked anxiously as soon as she sat down."Fourth Miss Zhao, relax. Can I know what exactly is going on?" Wei Yuewu smiled and mouthed calmly.Perhaps it was because of Wei Yuewu's calm voice that had a soothing effect, Zhao Ruo'e gradually calmed down and looked at Wei Yuewu gloomily before answering, "Sixth Miss Wei, Her Majesty sent someone to ask about the brocade. She said that I can't use it as I please.""Why not?" Wei Yuewu asked."Is there something wrong with the brocade of that shop?" Zhao Ruo'e pinched the handkerchief in her hand agitatedly and asked. She could not forget the anger of the Empress when she saw her
